Chapter 272
How Chase thought or saw her, Ashley didn’t care or concern herself with.
After leaving the restaurant, Ashley and Tim continued back to Sterling Technology for the meeting.
This time, Vivian and Catherine didn’t follow along again.
But Tanya did follow.
Seeing Tanya follow again, Tim secretly rolled his eyes and said, “Mr. Sterling, Ms. Mond here…”
Chase seemed to know what he wanted to say.
Before Tim could finish speaking, he said, “If Mr. Reed is referring to the issue of confidentiality leaks, you don’t need to worry. If such a thing truly happens, I will bear the consequences.”
Tim knew Chase would definitely say that.
After all, back when they just started collaborating with Speed, Chase had also said the same thing.
Even though he knew Chase would say that, he still needed a guarantee from Chase.
Hearing him say that, Tim said with a fake smile:”Since Mr. Sterling said that, I can rest assured.”
During the morning meeting, only Chase was in the center seat at the conference table.
Now that Tanya was here, he had someone add a chair next to him, and Tanya sat down beside him.
Ashley saw it and averted her gaze.
The meeting officially began.
During the meeting, with Tim present, Ashley didn’t need to speak.
Ashley and Gabriel basically just listened in.
Midway through the meeting, Ashley got thirsty and reached out for the bottle of mineral water next to her, but Gabriel was a step faster: Thirsty? I’ll help you.”
After saying that, without waiting for her to speak, he helped her unscrew the bottle cap.
Ashley watched, took it, and said:”Thanks.”
Gabriel smiled, then lowered his voice and chatted with her about the technical details Tim and Chase had just mentioned.
Ashley then lowered her voice and chatted with him.
Ashley and Gabriel really seemed to have a lot to talk about.
Tanya had noticed this before when they were eating at the restaurant.
Back then, Gabriel had also been sitting next to Ashley the whole time, looking a bit like he was intentionally sticking to Ashley.
However, was that really the case?
She knew perfectly well how much Gabriel liked her.
He changed to studying Al for her, and even more, he specifically came back to the country for her.
How could he possibly fall in love with Ashley so quickly?
Thinking of this, she looked at Chase next to her.
She noticed that Chase also saw Gabriel’s solicitous attitude towards Ashley.
However, Chase saw it, but seemed to have no interest at all and withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, she thought of something.
He also knew how much Gabriel liked her.
Gabriel suddenly appeared by Ashley’s side and frequently showed her favor, couldn’t he guess that Gabriel’s intentions for approaching Ashley were not pure?
But he didn’t seem to tell Ashley that Gabriel and she had a relationship.
So, not only does he not care about other men being solicitous towards Ashley, but even if Ashley is hurt or toyed with by other men, he won’t care at
all?
Thinking of this, Tanya curved her lips into a shallow smile.
Jeffery didn’t pay much attention to Gabriel.
But he paid attention to Tanya and Chase.
Chase and Ashley had been quite close for a while.
He had worried before that Chase would do something to betray Tanya.
However, they seemed to have lost contact recently.
Perhaps, although Chase was attracted by Ashley’s looks, he wasn’t successfully seduced by Ashley.
The person he loved, from beginning to end, was only Tanya.
And today, whether it was during lunch or now in the meeting, Chase really didn’t show any intention of specifically paying attention to Ashley.
Because of this, he also felt much more at ease.
